Expert Reply:
For the best 5th wheel hitch available for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3710. The Companion features 1" thick dual jaws for a sturdy connection that inhibits movement which results in a safer and quieter ride.
It has has a non-binding cam-action latch handle which allows you to easily release the jaws, even on unlevel terrain. This hitch has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs. If you need a higher capacity, the # BWRVK3715 is also available with a 25,000 lb gross towing weight.
If you need wiring, check out the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070. This will provide you with a 7-way connection in the bed of your truck for your 5th wheel. The wiring harness plugs in line with the existing 7-way connection at the back of your truck.
I have attached some installation videos for your reference.
